kolektiva.social/@DoomsdaysCW/… DoomsdaysCW@kolektiva.social - When Universities Become Informants

A practice from the #McCarthy era makes an ugly return.

By Judith Butler September 13, 2025

"On September 4, I received an email from the #UniversityOfCalifornia at #Berkeley’s chief legal counsel, David Robinson, informing me that my name has been handed over to the #Trump administration in a file containing allegations of antisemitism. A few days later, I discovered that the university had sent a list of 160 names to the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights. The list includes the names of students, staff, and faculty who may well suffer serious consequences, including the loss of jobs, expulsion, #deportation, or harassment. This was a shock for many of us who believed that Berkeley is a university where one can expect support for freedom of expression and guarantees of fair procedure.

"Antisemitism must be unequivocally opposed along with every other form of racism, but there are campus protocols for investigating such allegations that ensure fairness and which, in this instance, were suspended by the administration. Moreover, it is important to consider which definition of antisemitism is at work. The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition of antisemitism, which the Trump administration accepts, is overbroad, often equating criticism of Israel with antisemitism. It acts as a cudgel against freedom of expression and dissent."

A Cooper’s hawk appears to have learned how to adapt its hunting strategy and strike at a flock of birds precisely when cars at an intersection lined up after traffic lights switched to red. frontiersin.org/news/2025/05/2…

Dr Vladimir Dinets, a zoologist who studies animal behavior, ecology, and conservation, is the author of a recently published Frontiers in Ethology article that documents the impressive adaptation of an avian newcomer to the city.

And the corollary/response:
Two-part image of a GIF followed by a screenshot of a text response.<br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The GIF begins&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"The Paradox of Tolerance disappears if you look at tolerance _not_ as a moral standard, but as a social contract."&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;(Next to that paragraph is a picture of Escher's Impossible Cube.)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The text continues, in red:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"If someone does not abide by the terms of the contract, then they are not covered by it."&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Back in black text:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"The intolerant are not following the rules of the social contract of mutual tolerance.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"Since they have broken the terms of the contract, they are no longer covered by the contract, and their intolerance should NOT be tolerated."&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There is a credit line in much smaller text that reads "Inspired by 'Tolerance is not a moral precept' by Yonatan Zunger"&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;_____________&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Beneath that is text, possibly a Facebook response (I don't know, sorry) from commasameleon:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"Sorry as someone who teaches rhetoric this is a wonderful response to the Paradox of Tolerance. I can not tell you how many times my students have had debates about this. This is the response. This does indeed fix it. I cannot wait to tell my classes now.&lt;br&gt;Philosophically and rhetorically this completely resolved the Paradox of Tolerance and I am floored by its simplicity and angry I never saw it before."
